Conmigo
Conmigo is a personal finance tracking tool that helps you keep track of expenses shared with roommates, family, friends, partners, etc. With Conmigo you create groups of people and enter expenses shared by that group. Expenses can be for a variety of categories, such as shopping or food, and can be evenly split among group members or unevenly split. Conmigo keeps track of how much each person owes you and how much you owe each person, allowing you to “settle up” as money exchanges hands between parties. Conmigo supports sixteen currencies including USD, euro, pound sterling, rupee, yen, and yuan; and a sync feature is expected in future versions allowing you keep expenses synced across the devices of all group members.

Requires: Android 2.1 and up

FoxFi
FoxFi allows users to share their Android device data connection to other devices via WiFi hotspot or Bluetooth — without required root access. The attraction to FoxFi is the fact that it doesn’t require root access; however, not requiring root also means FoxFi’s WiFi hotspot won’t work on all devices. For example, FoxFi WiFi hotspot works on “most” Samsung and Motorola devices but WiFi hotspot won’t work on HTC devices.
Price: Free
Requires: Android 2.2 and up

dotTechies: We have tested all the apps listed above. However, Android Apps of the Day articles are not intended as “reviews” but rather as “heads-up” to help you discover new apps. Always use your best judgement when downloading apps, such as trying trial/free versions before purchasing paid apps, if applicable.
